Paris massacre possible prelude to wave of Europe-wide attacks – media citing NSA...
ReplyDeleteThe deadly events that unfolded in France over the last week may be the first in a wave of attacks to strike Europe, a German daily reports, citing NSA intercepts of communications between Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) leaders.
Paris was marked as the first in a series of European cities to be attacked, including Rome, the report in the German tabloid Bild read. However, the article didn’t furnish details of a concrete plan to launch an attack.
The US National Intelligence Agency (NSA) also reportedly had information that Cherif and Said Kouachi, the brothers who carried out the mass shooting at the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, had contacts in the Netherlands.
Police were said to have been put on high alert after intelligence learned that Amedy Coulibaly, the terrorist who killed a policewoman on Thursday in Paris and another four people in a kosher supermarket in Vincennes on Friday, may have activated sleeper cells which aim to attack law enforcement, CNN reported.
In a slickly produced video released online, Coulibaly swears allegiance to “Caliph Ibrahim”, also known as Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed IS leader.
When asked by an unidentified interviewer if he had any links to Cherif and Said, Coulibaly responded:
“The brothers of our team were split into two groups…I went out a bit against the police.”
Despite Coulibaly’s declared allegiance to IS, Cherif had earlier claimed he was trained and financed by Al-Qaeda in Yemen.

Holder said on CBS's Face the Nation program that the “decimation” of core al-Qaida has reduced or eliminated that group's ability to carry out a 9/11-style attack, but he said affiliates like al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula have stepped in to try to inspire people to carry out smaller attacks.

ReplyDelete(Reuters) - China will not follow the path of "Western colonists" in Africa, its foreign minister said during a five-nation tour of the continent, parrying criticism that his country's hunger for resources has led to one-sided policies and damaging projects.
China is Africa's biggest trade partner, and has sought to tap the region's rich resources to fuel its own economic growth over the past two decades.
But Beijing's involvement has been called "neo-colonial" by some African leaders, who fear projects bring little benefit to local people, with materials and even labor being imported from China.

ReplyDeleteToday is the fifth anniversary of the catastrophic earthquake which ravaged Haiti in 2010, killing over 200,000 people and leaving 1.5 million homeless. Since then much has been done towards healing and reconstruction. The EU has been at the forefront of international humanitarian reconstruction efforts, initially providing shelter, clean water, food and medical care . Over the last five years the humanitarian response has been complemented by an ambitious reconstruction programme, supporting the Haitian government's efforts to rehabilitate and develop the country's infrastructure, rebuild schools and hospitals, provide public housing and strengthen the administration.
This massive cooperation effort, matching the huge needs, has benefitted some five million people, one in every two Haitians. The EU also values the cooperation within the Group of Friends, whom, together with the UN have provided essential security and contributed the bulk of the emergency and development resources to Haiti.
But Haiti remains the poorest country of the Western Hemisphere, and one of the poorest in the world. Despite the efforts of government and the international community, many still remain homeless from the disaster. Haiti needs steady and effective government and constructive opposition, rising above partisan differences, to steer the nation towards sustainable development.

The party leader stated that the country needs domestic tax reform, as he deems the current sytem "unfair." Restructuring Greece's outstanding debt of more than 320 billion euros ($378 billion) is also necessary for the country to remain in the eurozone.
According to Kouvelis, Greece needs a coalition government with cooperation of every major political party, including DIMAR..................http://sputniknews.com/europe/20150113/1016840866.html

U.S. to back $2 billion in loan guarantees for Ukraine ....
ReplyDelete(Reuters) - The United States plans to provide up to $2 billion in loan guarantees to Ukraine this year, the U.S. Treasury said on Tuesday, as part of a broader international package to stave off bankruptcy.
Like other major donors to the country, Treasury said the guarantees would be contingent on the former Soviet republic remaining on track to meet the conditions of its loan program from the International Monetary Fund. IMF officials are in Kiev this week to resume negotiations on the package, currently worth $17 billion.

But last week's commando-style raids in France — carried out by at least one man who traveled to Yemen in 2011 to train alongside the Qaeda affiliate there — were deadly reminders that those measures have done relatively little to reduce the threat.

Jimmy Carter: ICC should pursue war crimes investigation against Israel, Hamas ...
ReplyDeleteFormer US president Jimmy Carter said on Wednesday that the International Criminal Court should probe both Israel and Hamas for possible war crimes committed during Operation Protective Edge.
In an interview with The Huffington Post, the Nobel laureate said that such an investigation would be “good for both sides.”
"I think it might be a good thing for the International Criminal Court to take an inquisitive look not only at what the Israelis have done to the Palestinians but vice versa," Carter said.
"I’ve been to the places in Israel where Hamas rockets land and I have been there and I’ve condemned the rockets on television, so there are problems both ways. But I think that to expose what has happened on both sides to the world in a very careful and judicial way will probably be good for both sides."

ReplyDeleteIsraeli hostilities against Syria should be considered an attack on all of Damascus’ allies, said Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, warning that all necessary preparations for a future war with Israel have been made.
"The repeated bombings that struck several targets in Syria are a major violation, and we consider that any strike against Syria is a strike against the whole of the resistance axis, not just against Syria," Nasrallah told Al-Mayadeen television in Beirut.
"The axis is capable of responding,” he said, referring to Syria itself, Iran, Hezbollah as well as Palestinian Hamas. “It could happen any time.”
“We are now stronger than we ever were as a resistance movement,” Nasrallah said, adding that Hezbollah has all the weapons one can “imagine” in “great quantities.” The organization is fully prepared to fight Israel, and it would be a mistake for Tel Aviv to believe the resistance has been weakened or exhausted, he warned................http://rt-tv.f29hgb.ru/news/223167-hezbollah-threatens-israel-strike/

Ukrainian troops retake most of Donetsk airport from rebels ...
ReplyDelete(Reuters) - Ukrainian troops recaptured almost all the territory of Donetsk airport in eastern Ukraine they had lost to separatists in recent weeks, even as thousands gathered in Kiev for a state-sponsored peace march on Sunday.
The offensive brought fighting close to the industrial city of Donetsk itself, center of a pro-Russian rebellion, while shelling intensified in other parts of the region, known as the "Donbass".
With attempts to restart peace talks stalled, pro-Russian rebels have stepped up attacks in the past week and casualties have mounted, including 13 civilians killed in an attack on a passenger bus, which Kiev blamed on the separatists.
Military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said the army's operation had returned the battle lines near the airport to the previous status quo and, thus not violated the 12-point peace plan agreed with Russia and separatist leaders last September in Minsk..................http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/01/18/us-ukraine-crisis-military-idUSKBN0KR0DH20150118?feedType=RSS&feedName=worldNews
